Hello everyone:
To give the latest NetBSD on my otherwise idle hp712 a try, I downloaded
netinstall.lif 3.99.18 as of 2006-04-18
right after stateing the memory the kernel panics
real mem...
avail mem = 108 MB
panic: trap: uvm_fault(0xe49218, 0, 1): 14
stopped in pid 0.1 (swapper) at 0x7e8dd4: ldo R´40(%r3),%r30
db>
Any useful information I could retrieve from the debugger?
Since this is from the keyboard I will have to re-type, so please
be specific which data could help. (above is also retyped)
I have still installed 3.99.8 which boots over the network as well as
from disc.

I reported this same general problem a month ago, on a B180L:

Your error output is a bit different from mine, I haven't tried
loading a recent LIF.

Some update:
I got 128MB for my hp712 recently. As a side effect the hang-up
in the Network as described in this PR does not happen any longer.
The machine has now enough physical
RAM to not use any of the swap e.g. while compiling a package
in a nfs-mounted export which includes some network-traffic doing
so.
Thus it seams that the bug described is somehow related to using swap.
